At what temperature does the average translational KE of a molecule in a gas becomes equal to the K.E. of an electron accelerated through a PD of 6 V?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Electron KE = eV = (1.6×10⁻¹⁹)(6) = 9.6×10⁻¹⁹ J. Set 3/2kT = 9.6×10⁻¹⁹: T = (2 × 9.6×10⁻¹⁹)/3 × 1.38×10⁻²³ ≈ 4.64×10⁴ K = 46,400 K. Confirms Ans (c).
